[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I Believe it’s what’s being sold to them, OP. It’s more the Disney culture than anything.  My mom was saying that in the 1950’s there were “hobos”, ghosts, Addams Family and Munsters characters but very few Cinderella’s because they only saw Cinderella once in the theater.  My mom has great pictures of herself dressed as Paul McCartney and her siblings as John, George and Ringo.  Once she went as cousin It.

I was not as Princess orientated as my DD is because I didn’t watch as much princess crap.  [/quote]

This is my gripe with Disney princesses, and Spiderman, or any other corporate/commercial character that's out there. Parents are the gatekeepers, kids don't have a biological need/desire to dress like a Disney princess or Batman, and posters who don't acknowledge this are annoying. Sure, your kid will grow out of it, but how did your kid grow into it?

OP is also very annoying.[/quote]

Kids don't have a biological need to do much of anything. I don't gatekeep things that aren't harmful, why would I?[/quote]
